This year’s theme at Midem is “Back To Growth? Make It Sustainable!”, which will discuss how ongoing innovation and the recent formation of new relationships across the industry and within into new sectors work together to strengthen the music business and ensure much more than recovery, but a successful future music business.

In addition to educating attendees on topics such as industry trends via the event’s conference sessions, keynote interviews, educational workshops and more, Midem’s theme seeks to reignite the enthusiasm and optimism which has been noticeably absent for over a decade within the music industry. We’re more than excited to hear the discussions this year’s theme will generate over the next days.

What’s the top reasons your optimistic about the future the music business and/or industry?
Let us know in the comments below.

Midem attendees – get ready for an action-packed four days! Be sure to take advantage of not only the conference and networking opportunities but also check out the great, emerging international acts set to perform at Midem’s Festival.
